Xigbar from Kingdom Hearts
Xigbar (voiced in Japanese by Hōchū Ōtsuka and in English by James Patrick Stuart) is one of the main antagonists in the Kingdom Hearts game franchise.
He is number two in Organization XIII, and specializes in being a sniper. While initially starting off the series as just a member of the Organization, he quickly grew to be revealed as an extremely plot important character.
Xigbar has long black hair worn in a low ponytail and streaked heavily with silver, though that is more from influences of power rather than age. He has one visible eye that’s a vibrant gold, with the other injured one under an eyepatch, and underneath his one good eye, he has a jagged scar. His outfit is just like the rest of the Organization members, with a long black cloak, black gloves, pants, and silver topped boots.
Johnny Cage from Mortal Kombat 1
In Mortal Kombat 1, Johnny Cage is a struggling but cocky action star who joins Shang Tsung’s fighting tournament. He arrives and even fights wearing formal dress clothes. However the character also gets into a more outfit to fight in, and even a Jean Claude Van Damme skin voiced by man himself. Appropriate since way back in 1992, Cage’s design was originally inspired by the Muscles from Brussels.
Johnny Cage from Mortal Kombat
In Mortal Kombat, Johnny Cage is an action star modeled on Jean-Claude Van Damme’s character in Bloodsport. With his Hollywood movie career on the decline, he enters the fighting tournament to showcase his fighting skills, dressed in his trademark shades that he wears throughout the series including Mortal Kombat 11 and Mortal Kombat 1.
Juliet Starling from Lollipop Chainsaw
In Lollipop Chainsaw, Juliet Starling (voiced by Tara Strong) is a cheerleader who finds herself having to hack and slash her way through zombie hordes at San Romero High School. Luckily she’s armed with a chainsaw. To go all out with this look, you’ll want to include her boyfriend Nick’s severed-but-still-living head to hang on the belt of your costume.
Wigfrid from Don’t Starve Together
Wigfrid is one of the playable characters in the survival horror game series, Don’t Starve.
She’s a former stage star, fully embodying the roll of the Valkyrie character she played to the point where it became the only thing she could do, leaving her other performances imperfect.
Wigfrid is usually seen wearing her stage costume, with her bright red hair tied back into two thick braids, white eyes like a large amount of other DST characters, and a gold toned valkyrie costume, with tan sandals/wraps, metallic bracers, and a viking-esque had with a unicorn at the top.
Ada Wong from Resident Evil: Damnation
Ada Wong (voiced by Courtney Taylor) appears in the feature-length animated horror film Resident Evil: Damnation. As with her many appearances in the horror game franchise of the same name, Ada‘s appearance in Damnation includes short black hair and a red and black color palette. To recreate her look, you’ll need a short black wig, black choker, and red pumps. Her outfits consists of a red long-sleeved button-down shirt (left buttoned at the throat and upper chest), as well as a leather jacket with vertical piping and a leather pencil skirt with a thigh slit. It’s hard to find a skirt with a slit on the right thigh, but you can pull the one pictured up higher to mimic the shorter length of Ada’s original from the movie.
Lancer from Deltarune
Lancer is a main character from the game Deltarune. A Darkner like Spamton, Ralsei, and Jevil, Lancer is white and black with blue details including and looks like a spade from a deck of cards. For your costume, you can start with a white full-body suit. Wear a blue hood, blue gloves, and blue shoes. Add an iron-on blue spade decal to a black leotard to wear over top and you’re ready to go.
Mettaton from Undertale
Mettaton is a robot with a soul who appears in Undertale. Spamton includes several references to Mettaton in Deltarune. Mettaton’s original appearance is a box with rectangular lights, but he is eventually transformed into a more humanoid body created by Alphys. To create your Mettaton costume, you’ll want to start with a metallic shirt and gloves, black pants, and pink boots. Then, don a set of black shoulder pads and layer a black tank top with pink skull and crossbones over top. Add a pink heart sticker to a metallic silver belt and don’t forget your emo wig to complete the look.
Ventus from Kingdom Hearts
Ventus (voiced in Japanese by Kōki Uchiyama and in English by Jesse McCartney) is one of the main characters in Birth by Sleep, and a prominent character in a large amount of the other titles in the Kingdom Hearts video game franchise.
He is one of the characters that actually has their origins even earlier in the timeline, coming from the time of the KHUX characters instead of just BBS like we originally thought. He is also part of the trio of wielders that trained under Master Eraqus, and is the body that Vanitas was pulled from.
Ven has spiked up blonde hair, similar in style to Roxas, and vibrant blue eyes. He wears a multilayered outfit, with a black sleeveless turtleneck, a striped undervest, a split monochromatic cropped short sleeve jacket worn with a black x strap clasped by a silver version of the wielder emblem, a metallic armor patch on his shoulder that forms into the keyblade armor, and an inverted version of Roxas’ wristband. He also has segmented gold and blue waist armor over top of multitoned cuffed capri pants, and armored shoes.
Squigly (Sienna Contiello) from Skullgirls
Squigly (voiced in Japanese by Miyuki Sawashiro and in English by Lauren Landa) is one of the DLC characters in the fighting game, Skullgirls.
While her life as Sienna is covered through the backstory part of her story mode, she’s seen in the rest of the game modes as her undead form, Squigly. Like Filia, she is connected to a parasite, hers being named Leviathan, and he is the being that is keeping her in a ‘living’ form. Her fighting style closely incorporates Leviathan, and also uses song in attacks.
Squigly has light blue skin and dark blue hair worn in two pigtails in red ties (I didn’t include materials for Leviathan, but may try to make a tutorial later), a stitched shut mouth, and intense red eyes. She wears a low cut dark magenta shirt with scooped sides, a giant cartoony skull over her chest, red and white striped disconnected sleeves with a starry flared base over her hands (one of which is skeletal), her skirt is tight and dark blue, with the same sort of flare at the end, with cutouts circling the base, a pair of red and white striped stockings, and it’s finished off with a tall black collar with a white x at the front.
